00:26 – The historical background and an overview of Amos.
05:03 – Three aspects of the fullness of iniquity, beginning with violence against the innocent. Molech worship, as discussed in Amos, involved child sacrifice. Amos challenged his audience to protect the innocent among them.
14:32 – Establishing judgement or fairness at the gate, the place of contracts.
17:31 – Refusal to listen to God and his prophets is another sign that a land is reaching the fullness of iniquity. Amaziah, a priest at the shrine in Bethel, contends with Amos and tells him to go back to his country.
25:03 – The Divine Council and the role of prophets. Amos tells his hearers that prophets have entered into the sôd, or the Divine Council in heaven.
32:20 – The Lord reminds Israel of all that he has done for them and invites them to follow Him.
40:55 – A list of tendencies that are on the path that ends at the fulness of iniquity. First, don’t let your worship become a checklist. The worship of the Lord is not the end, but the means. Living the Gospel is meant to lead us to become like the Savior.
48:46 – Amos warns us to not be “at ease in Zion.” The story of Lehonti coming down the mountain illustrates this idea.
54:49 – Israel is told, “Ye which rejoice in a thing of nought” (Amos 6.13).
1:01:32 – Amos’ words of warning about captivity and how the Cosmic Covenant is tied to the land.
1:05:58 – The Book of Amos ends with a positive message of hope. The Lord says, “I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob.”
1:09:17 – Obadiah speaks of a warning to Edom, an adversary of Judah and a people who rejoiced in the destruction of the temple in 586 B.C. Edom can also represent the world and the worldly. Obadiah ends with a message of hope.

| 0:23.6 | Welcome to Talking Scripture, I'm Mike. |
| 0:25.2 | And I'm Bryce. |
| 0:26.2 | And today we are going to be an Amos and an Obadaya. |
| 0:29.7 | Amos is nine chapters and Obadaya is one chapter. |
| 0:33.1 | And so really the bulk of this podcast, we are going to be spending our time in Amos. |
| 0:39.0 | Amos is a prophet in the South in Judah and he's preaching in the North. |
| 0:43.7 | So he is preaching at a time when Israel exists. |
| 0:47.5 | And so this time period of Amos is in the 8th century BC, a couple of years prior to |
| 0:53.9 | a major earthquake that's going to devastate Israel in the middle of the 8th century. |

| 1:11.5 | But I want to talk a little bit about the geography that Amos is using to teach. |
| 1:17.2 | And I want to talk a little bit about the idea of a cosmic covenant that there's this |
| 1:21.3 | covenant that's bigger than Israel and it's bigger than the world. |
| 1:25.7 | And God is using the terms of the cosmic covenant to teach his children. |
| 1:31.6 | Amos is also going to talk about the captivity. |
